Question

I got an ECG done yesterday and it shows a slight ST depression in V3. Should I be concerned about this? I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable on the extreme left side of my chest, which is why I went for the ECG in the first place. There aren't any other pains or symptoms bothering me. By the way, I took the test about 40 minutes after finishing a workout at the gym - would that have any impact on the results?

Slight ST depression on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if you have no other symptoms. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and the timing of the ECG after a workout, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. I recommend you take a low dose of Aspirin 75mg for now to prevent any clot formation and consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm really concerned about my heart rate because it's usually around 100 or more whether I'm just sitting, walking, or doing anything else. I've been using my Fitbit to track it, and I also have an Omron BP machine at home that often shows it going over 100, sometimes even hitting 120. I did see a cardiologist who said it was nothing, but I'm still worried. Can you help me figure out what might be going on or if there's anything I should do?

Question

I'm worried about my dad's new BP medication. He's been taking Olmazest Beta 25 mg twice a day for a while, and now the cardiologist added Natrilix SR 1.5 mg. Ever since he started the new one, he's been having really bad itching. What could be causing this and what should we do to help him stop itching?
